I had engine problems while on the interstate, called Tuffy's to see if they could look at it and Joel's response was "bring it in, we'll take care of you". And that's what they did! They even gave me a ride to work and also offered to pick me up. For the last 25 years, we had a loyalty built with another garage, but after trying Tuffy's they'll continue to have our business. Their kindness and care for the customer (and car), is what will keep us there. Thank you so much!!

Stopped in on Friday for a quote on new tires and alignment. They had me set up for service the next day and everything was done before COB. Thank you for being courteous and quick!

I was quoted to have my breaks fixed and was unable to pay in full for the amount, but they were not worried about it, they told me to pay what I can and to stop by and make a few payments. They were more worried about me driving with bad breaks and my safety, and for the kind gesture I will not be taking my car anywhere else to be serviced. Can not thank them enough.

I met Joel and the crew during a nightmare scenario in which our mini-van blew a spark-plug out of the block. It was a Saturday afternoon, it was hot, it was humid, we live over an hour away, and the van sounded like an old tractor… not good. Honestly, we didn’t have a lot of options to choose from on the weekend at close to closing time, but when we called Tuffy they said they would take a look at it.
The van limped its way to the shop and my wife and I brought our two boys inside the sweetly air conditioned shop where we waited for the prognosis. It wasn’t good. We were stranded in Ankeny with two young boys and no vehicle.
Then we met Joel, a light in the darkness. We had decided to get a rental car in order to get home (over an hour away), but since it was a Saturday the closest place to get a rental car was the Des Moines airport. We wondered about taking a cab, but that’s when Joel volunteered to drive us himself. It was a generous offer, and we took him up on it loading our bags of groceries into the back of his truck and strapping the car seat in for a tired kid who hadn’t taken his afternoon nap. Joel literally went the extra mile(s) to help us out in our time of need.
When the van was finished the next week, Joel picked me up from the airport where I dropped off the rental car. He and his crew went out of their way to help us out, and I couldn’t be more grateful! It turns out, we didn't need a lot of options to choose from that dreaded Saturday in Ankeny, we just needed one, Tuffy Tire and Auto Service. Thank you.

I schedule two appointments for both of my car for an oil change and I mistaken for what day I had schedule it for. Drove in 10 minutes late for the first appointment (that I thought was schedule that day) to find out my appointment isn't until the next day BUT the guys were SO KIND to go ahead and got my car in. They were super friendly and very professional. I ask them to check my windshield wiper blade and was expecting to hear yes, you need to replace it BUT I got an honest answer of "no, they think it's still ok for now". Even with all the cars in the bay that they are working on, they got my car oil change in no time! I'm glad a co-worker told me about them! Will definitely go here for all of my car repair needs! Great service and honest. Highly recommend them!!

I moved from Houston, TX to Ankeny in Oct 2013. Needed oil change and saw Tuffy Service building. I was very happy with their servive and have been back twice. Once was to find a 'noise' in rear part of car. They found nothing, but tightened the spare tire anyway. No charge and they were very respectful. Had an oil change last week again. they are very respectful and did call me by name. Answered all my questions politely. and even gave me a gift.Love them

I arrived 1 minute before closing time needing to have a headlight replaced. Instead of asking me to come back, they took care of me. The mechanic and the service adviser were both very polite, effective and grateful for my business. I would definitely recommend this location!!!

I've been a customer of Tuffy in Ankeny for a few years. I recently had brake work and 4 new tires installed. Tuffy's has always provided fast, quality, courteous service with fair, competitive prices for their services and products. They treat me with respect and call me by name. Your free to decline any proposed recommended services you do not want. No high pressure. I recommend them for all your car services needs.

I've been a customer at the Ankeny Tuffy Service Center for over 5 years and they service all of my cars. I own a Cherry 1973 Pontiac Grand Prix that I'm very picky about and Ken and the guys treat it with kid gloves.
